Life at Chesterfield
Success Stories
The vast majority of our students go on to study at University. We currently have students studying at some of the top and highly competitive Russell Group Universities across the country. There is an eclectic range of subjects students opt to study and we have had recent success with students securing places studying Medicine at Manchester University, Archaeology at Oxford, Mathematics at Warwick and Physics at St Andrews.
All students are supported with their UCAS application by the Sixth Form Team and those wishing to pursue the apprenticeship route are also given guidance and the opportunity to partake in a mock assessment day.
Enrichment
Central to life at Chesterfield High School Sixth Form is the enrichment program organized for Year 12 and 13 students for them to gain some invaluable experience and ultimately to leave not only with a set of impressive Level 3 Qualifications but with employability skills too. Both the Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh Awards are offered in the Sixth Form, along with many other opportunities for students to enhance their leadership, problem solving and communication skills.
Sixth Formers are key members of the school community and take the lead on Whole School Charity Events, supporting Year 7 students with the Paired Reading Programme and assisting with lunch time activities at our local feeder primary school. In addition to this 6th Formers run the Key Stage 3 Art Club, support the PE staff with the extracurricular Sport and Dance Clubs and give Maths and Science guidance to some of our younger students. We also ensure social events are organized whether it is Christmas Shopping at the Trafford Centre, competing in the Annual Liverpool Santa Dash, taking the tree top challenge at Go Ape or a civilized hot chocolate at break time, we want to help students create happy memories of their time here in the Sixth Form.
